Raise your volume limit if your problem relates to a lack of sound. While changing the volume is as simple as sliding your finger along the click wheel, some users do not realize that fifth-generation iPods contain a separate "Volume Limit" indicator. Click your "Menu" button repeatedly until reaching the main menu, select "Settings" and then "Volume Limit." Slide your finger clockwise along the wheel if your volume limit appears near zero.
Check your remaining capacity. If iTunes will not allow you to add songs, videos or other media, your iPod may be full. Return to your iPod's main menu, click "Settings" and then "About." If your meter indicates that you have nearly 30gb of content currently stored on your iPod, you must delete some of your current content before you can add new content.
Restart your iPod. Hold down the center button and the "Menu" button until the Apple icon appears on your screen, making sure that the "Hold" switch remains in the "Off" position. Restarting can remedy many basic functionality problems on an iPod.
The fifth-generation iPod came in a 30-gigabyte variety when manufactured in late 2006. Capable of holding approximately 10,000 songs, or a combination of songs, videos and images, the 30gb iPod was one of the final full-sized click-wheel iPods manufactured by Apple, followed by the iPod Classic but ultimately replaced by the more versatile iPod Touch. If you still use one of the 30gb models and find that your iPod no longer functions as it should, you should attempt some basic troubleshooting.
